A muddled wrap of items notes California soil for taming crops, high homicide and execution counts, Berlin engineers planning underground streets, and a Paris bank report. It cites Alaska cod fisheries potential, Reading Railroad growth, Boston Transcript on habitual criminals, and cures like asafotida and cinnamon essence with mixed claims.
A poem by I N. B. Fowles in Inter Oveau describes a woman unconsciously creating a temple in life. Stone by stone, little sacrifices, truth and light bind walls of innocence and grace. The verse traces trials and patience as she climbs toward a heavenly home, with love as her king and soul as throne.
Charley Cleve narrates a comic series of misfortunes sparked by a jealous neighbor and a cherished gray goose. A fire, a broken chair, a mistaken rabbit hole of blame, and a clever old woman Sarepta Smith lead to loss then a surprising fortune hidden in the goose. Charley and Bess marry after a windfall, aided by Sarepta’s mysterious relics and a cabinet of luck.
Discussion on the fastest trotter cites 1883 studies by Professor E Nipher and later authors. It notes predictions of a maximum trotting time around 92 or 81 seconds and the idea that the running horse may not overtake the trotter by 2200, with various calculations and caveats.
The issue discusses skim milk feeding limits for cows and notes on farm record keeping. It covers protecting peach trees from cold via prostrate shading, bark peeling myths, and a broad set of farm and garden tips on poultry care, straw mulching for potatoes, and general seed and housing guidance.
The Star of the East, near the Falklands, harpooned a colossal whale that dragged two boats, sank, and later sank a crewman named James Bartley. Bartley was swallowed alive and later revived in the captain’s cabin after hours of exposure to heat and darkness. He recounted a terrifying voyage through the whale’s interior, with lasting effects on his mind and skin.
A vivid, antiquated account describes the Zambezi near Victoria Falls with dramatic imagery. H. M. Johnstone notes a 360 to 400 foot descent, glassy plunge turning to boiling spray, and four rock lamps on the chasm edge. Garden Island sits central as the cataract splits into two main branches, creating a vast, vapor-shrouded gulf. The piece likens the sight to Niagara in scale and wonder.
